robbo k Member 414 Member For: 16y 7m 24d Location: Wollongong Posted 26/08/09 06:41 AM Share Posted 26/08/09 06:41 AM hey all its time to get some new tyres for my 6t I was looking in the manual just having a flick thru and says that the 18inch rims r to have 245 tyres on them. they have 235 on them now. I have never know that a 18inch rim would run a 245 on all four corners. I dont think a 245 would even fit on the front..... any idea on why ford state a 245 on them. well now I have seen that I am thinking runnin a wider tyre if possilbe on the back.

Not sure why yours has 235's. 235's are usually a cheaper tyres I know that. I would suggest running 245's all round.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced with same size recently. Tyre guy reckoned it should have 245...pretty sure stock 17 size is 235/45 though? Maybe 18's are 245/40 stock.
